Not sure whether this is design intent but needed to update a bit of old working legacy spaghetti code to avoid using GoTo LABEL.
Example::
'L998:
Dim fff As Integer
fff = 5
If fff = 5 Then
GoTo L998
Else
Dim ggg As Integer
End If
L998:
Trying to go forward to L998: produced a parsing error -
Q7Basic: syntax error or parser error - Label L998 has not been declared in line  near ' Else ' in line 195 in file modDecision.Module.q7b
If L998: is declared prior to calling GoTo command then all is OK.
Also seems that the GoTo LABEL only works within the same Sub and the label needs to start with a letter not a digit.
The Sub restriction is OK with me as I only ever used jumps as local quick and dirty connectors within objects - too many hours doing machine level coding I guess.
Cheers.
